Maria Montessori

If a big number of young pupils felt secularism was an attack on them, it was because the term had been misused and deformed in the public debate for years by the extreme-right and the right as an attack on Islam. The term had often been misused to point out how Muslims were different to others, and that is clearly problematic. Najat Vallaud-Belkacem

As for pupils, I can have as many as I choose, but I do not choose to take many. I intend to be better paid than others, and so I wish to have fewer scholars. It is advisable to hang back a little at first, or it is all over with you, and you must pursue the common highway with the rest. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

You Better Rest First Wish Others Back Pupils Must Pursue Take Scholars Highway Over Advisable Than Intend Hang Fewer Common Little Paid Choose Many
